Is veganism really “dead”, or is that just the headline? In this episode, I'm joined by Jessica Scott-Reid to unpack the recent wave of media stories claiming that veganism is over. We explore what those articles often miss, how plant-based diets are frequently conflated with veganism, and why cultural narratives around meat consumption are shifting in surprising ways. Jessica Scott-Reid is a journalist and animal advocate. She writes for media across Canada, including The Toronto Star, Winnipeg Free Press, Corporate Knights Magazine and others. She is also the culture and disinformation correspondent for Sentient Media. In our conversation, we discuss: The media framing of veganism as a “failed trend” The difference between veganism and plant-based diets The rise of meat-fluencers and cultural messaging around meat, politics, and nutrition Industry-funded efforts to discredit plant-based eating How plant-based meat alternatives are labeled “ultra-processed” and what that framing leaves out The growing role of disinformation in food media This is a thoughtful, nuanced conversation about media, perception, public health, and how narratives are shaped in real time. If you've been confused by the headlines, this episode will bring clarity.

Every party in the House of Commons except for the Bloc Québécois contributed to either votes or abstentions that allowed the Liberals to survive Monday's budget vote on a razor-thin margin. Liberal House leader Steven MacKinnon tells Power & Politics he thinks other parties 'secretly liked' large parts of the budget. Then, interim NDP Leader Don Davies says Conservative MPs Andrew Scheer and Scott Reid held back until the end of the budget vote on Monday because they were prepared to 'save this government' and prevent an election if necessary.

Over the last few weeks, horrific crimes have dominated headlines across the country.There was a father of four who was killed after at least three suspects broke into his home in Vaughan, Ontario. There was a mass stabbing attack on Hollow Water First Nation, just north of Winnipeg. The suspect had been out on bail. Last weekend in Edmonton, a woman was found shot to death in her car. The suspect in that case has a long history of run-ins with the law, including convictions for violent crimes, and was on probation at the time.Politicians from every level of government have been talking about this, saying that we are at crisis levels.So today, we're trying to figure out what's real here: is crime going up? For that, Irvin Waller, a Professor Emeritus at the University of Ottawa and the author of Science and Secrets of Ending Violent Crime joins the show. Then, Scott Reid, the co-founder of Feschuk.Reid communications and a political commentator, talks through the politics.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
